Hi,
This is what I would like to setup, but have no idea how:
One headset, if possible, with audio from two sources. If not, in-ear with over-ear together. Would prefer the first option.
PC #1 needs to be my primary sound. It needs to have absolutely everything but what is required for PC #2
PC #2 will be used for voice chat and would hopefully go into the same headset as PC #1. I would also need to use PC #2 for my microphone.
Basically, I would like to use one headset for two PCs. Is this possible? My motherboard is ASUS P6X58D-E with no sound card, but I am willing to buy a soundcard if necessary. PC #2 is an older ASUS, I can figure out the model later if it matters.
Some things I can think of that might get in the way:
Hitting push-to-talk on PC#2 will not be easy. The computers will be on separate networks, is there a way to send keystrokes from PC#1 to PC#2 without using any noticeable bandwidth? I could always use a foot pedal...
If I use the in-ear and over-ear solution, the sound may be hard to balance.
You can assume I have nothing but a crappy in-ear device and a crappy over-ear device, both of which I am willing to replace. I use a lot of voice chat and my sound has always been horrible, so maybe a decent standalone mic might be a good idea.
Any ideas for me here?
